Russia has one of the highest abortion rates in the entire world. And prostitution is rampant. And so is drug abuse. And alcoholism is so bad the average life expectancy for a man is 64 years (up significantly since the 1990s, when it was in the low 50s for the same reason). But I guess you're fine with that as long as the gays stay out of sight. I'm done with this thread.

Do they have parades in Moscow celebrating abortion, prostitution, drug use, alcoholism or a low life expectancy?

They do not. Your done with this thread...goodbye. Do not not let the door hit you on the way out.

In Russian the idiomatic way to say drunken debauchery, abortion and low life expectancy is жизнь.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who can watch the watchmen?"No one is paying attention to your post reports"Why do posters that claim to have me blocked keep sending me pms and responding to my posts? That makes no sense.

Green-Umbrella, you're quite right, they don't have parades for those things. What's with the obsession over parades, anyway??? You made me smile.

Oh, you are too funny. Your attitude is formed by the homosexual lobbyists throwing money around to politicians. The television sitcom writer and the leftist college proffesor. It is not God, the scripture or the church fathers.

What an age we live in when a so called ¨Christian¨ will not say they oppose a homosexual parade through a city. Yeah well, as you turn your blind eye to the open celebration of this sin young people will be influenced by it. They will go down that road and destroy themselves both spiritualy and physically.

I haven't owned or watched a TV in years, and the professors with whom I've staid in touch with over the years are mostly practicing Christians.

Parades are not voicing an opinion. Parades are promotions and celebrations. The last time I checked Christians were supposed to love your neighbor as yourself or has that been changed for political correctness?

Does it now read love your neighbor up to the point you might offend him and then be quiet? No. To be opposed to the promotion and celebration of sin is very Christian. I see nothing loving or caring in your position. Sure, throw the drunk another bottle. Let him kill himself. We do not want to offend him. That is your attitude.

Who here would imagine such a scene as this...

¨Paul of Tarsus, the homosexuals are having a parade in Corinth.¨

¨Uh, well...we have other problems in Corinth.¨

(chuckles)

Right. It is too absurd to even imagine. You can bet he would have called that out and made known his opposition. But he was a Christian in more than name only. He knew what side of the river he was on unlike some people here.

Never found the verse that said God considers gluttony an abomination. Also, I do not see fat people on parade trying to get people to embrace their lifestyle. Most fat people (and I am one of them) do not consider their state "normal". Your comparison is ignorant. Most people who resort to this are disingenuous, knowing well they have lost the argument yet still trying to defend the evil.

I would be happy to agree with you, but then both of us would be wrong.

Usury is one of the worst sins mentioned in the Old Testament. Most Ukrainian banks will give you 20% interest on Ukrainian Hryvnias, 15% on Russian Rubles and a mere 10% on Dollars. I've never once seen the Orthodox Church denounce this situation.

Everyone else gets to throw a parade except for Orthodoxy? Processions in Orthodoxy are supposed to be solemn events; I don't know what goes on in your part of the world regarding to solemnity of Orthodox processions and I'm not arguing against groups of people having a pride parade. The gays had a 2 day pride parade where I live; no one was bothered; I would ignore it.
